There has been a lot going on, so I haven't gotten a chance to write. Let's see, I'm not sure where to start. I'll just start with the kids. Both were sick and got their first ear infections. Gabe hates the doctor so that was quite the experience. Then at Amelia's check up last week I got the lecture again about the flu shot. It's so hard. The doctor tells you that the flu is the number 1 cause of death in babies, so that makes me scared. But I always figured that if they start to get sick, I'll just take them in and get medicine. Well, he tells me that since it's a virus, antibiotics won't treat it. Then I tell him that I heard there was mercury in it and he says that there isn't mercury in the shots they give to babies Amelia's age. I didn't think to ask that at what age is there mercury? I never got the flu shot with Gabe, but he has a really good immune system. Also, Amelia puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, which scares me. Let's face it, I'm not one of those moms that is constantly sanitizing my kids' hands. If she does get the flu, I'll feel so stupid taking her in now. I'm also around a lot of sickness with all the kids at my work. Last year we all got the flu at the same time and it was awful. I don't think I can handle two babies throwing up all over me. I don't know what to do. I've been praying but still feel torn about it.
A lot has been going on at Eric's work as well. They have laid off some people. One of which is our good friend Becky. We miss her so much. Gabe LOVED Becky and she always babysat for us. She was the one we called when I went into labor so she could come stay with Gabe. On the other hand, with all the reorganizing Eric was given a sort of promotion. It's not more money but just a title that fits more of what he has actually been doing. He is now the Director of Operations. We are also moving to another house here. This one is larger with a yard. It is also not in the middle of camp for everyone to see us. It will be nice because Eric can actually come home without staring at work. We've been living in a cave with the curtains drawn, so he doesn't have to worry every time he looks outside. I'm excited about that but not looking forward to another move. At least we have a PO Box now so we don't have to change our address again. Well, it's bath time. I'll write some more another day. Everyone have a good Thanksgiving. Love ya,
Britt

Wow, you have been busy. Do you give her vitamins? Thats what I've been doing more regularly to help with a lot that stuff. It must be a girl thing Bailey still puts everything in her mouth and chews on it. YOu have a Happy Thanksgiving too!
Busy lady for sure!!! I am sorry Amelia has been sick :( I hope I did not worry you about the vaccine issue :( I just don't know what to believe from all of these doctors we have seen and I am just worried about the flu vaccine because of our recent experience. But Jaron always reacted badly to vaccines, even when he was a baby. It is probably just something in his genetic makeup.
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope your move goes smoothly. I miss you!!!
